Missouri River System Update

by USACE

OMAHA, NE - Higher-than-average releases from all Missouri River Mainstem System projects, including Gavins Point, will continue through the fall. "Due to this year's high runoff and the water currently being stored in the reservoirs, Gavins Point releases will remain near 58,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) for the remainder of the navigation season to ensure evacuation of all stored flood waters prior to the 2019 runoff season with much of that occurring before the river freezes over in the northern reaches," said John Remus, Chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Missouri River Basin Water Management Division.
